Description

The State of Iowa is seeking an indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide as‑needed landscaping services—including mulching, planting, tree installation, weed control, pest management, and general maintenance—for the Capitol Complex and other state facilities throughout the Des Moines metro area. The contract will start with a one‑year base term and may be extended up to five additional one‑year periods, for a maximum of six years. Vendors must hold an Iowa contractor license and a commercial pesticide applicator license, agree to FOB‑Destination shipping, and submit quarterly sales reports and a 1 % administrative fee. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors, and multiple contracts may be awarded under this RFB. • Scope covers material supplies (mulch, plants, trees, fertilizers, pesticides) and labor services (planting, weed spraying, maintenance, haul‑away, mobilization). • Prices must be firm for at least 120 days after the bid deadline; the contract term is 1 year plus up to five annual extensions. • Mandatory licensing: Iowa DIAL contractor license and Iowa commercial pesticide applicator license; must certify non‑prohibited‑company status per Iowa Code 12K.1(4).

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $3,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. However, IDIQ landscaping contracts for a state capital complex typically range from several hundred thousand dollars in the first year to multi‑million dollars over the full six‑year term, depending on task‑order volume, material quantities, and labor rates. Assuming an average annual spend of $500,000–$800,000 for routine maintenance, mulching, and periodic tree planting, the total potential earnings could be roughly $500,000 in year 1 up to $3,000,000 over the full six‑year period. Factors influencing the range include the number of task orders issued, the mix of high‑value tree installations versus routine upkeep, and any additional specialty services (e.g., pest control).
